    my neighbor got another pro today (he buys and sells cars like crazy)

    if it has the 1.8L i might make a deal and get a swap on!

    weeeeeeeee

    why swap if its already in the other car? mileage, damage, too attached to your car? Just seems more logical.

      too attatched to my car...plus I've got my interior done and painted and stuff, don't want to go through with that again, and I know everything else is right on my car.

        hmm, sounds easier to swap interior parts than the whole engine.

          yea, i guess... i'm not even sure if it is a 1.8 yet tho, he isn't home right now... if not I know he can get me one fairly cheap... he goes to dealer only car auctions, he gets cars for 50 bucks... goes to a junkyard buys the parts he needs and sells them, he'll put about 1k into a car and turn it into 3k real quick... so even if it isn't, i'm sure he could get me one real cheap, he's a family friend and he wouldn't charge me that much since he'd prolly throw the 1.5 into another car and sell that. ya know?

            You could go over and see if its an ES yourself. if he finds an ES tell him i need one as well.
